Gov Bramlette
I have been asked to sign a petition for release of Stephan Duvall, now confined in penetentiary, for murder of a free negro.
Duvall is represented as beingin verybadhealth. I did not know the facts attending his case, & therefore did not sign the petition, I promised to write a letter, asking that you would enquire into his case, & give due
consideration to the facts, presented by his neighbors & friends. This promise, I have fulfilled —
Yrs Truly
Edward R Weir,
